. . SPORTS MEDICINE: Long-Time UVa Physician Frank Mccue Dies . . Long-Time UVa Physician Frank Mccue Dies By David Teel 8:16 p.m. EDT, July 8, 2012 Daily Press http://www.dailypress.com/sports/dp-mccue-dies,0,5256451.story . .Dr. Frank McCue III, the University of Virginia athletics physician for more than 40 years, died Sunday at age 82.
.McCue served Cavaliers athletes, and hundreds of others from around the state, from 1961 until his retirement in 2003. The school's athletics administration building carries his name.
."He was one of the most incredible guys," said Hampton High football coach Mike Smith, a dear friend of McCue's. "He loved the coaches and the kids and always remembered everybody's name.
."I think he did more for the University of Virginia than Thomas Jefferson."
. McCue suffered a heart attack within the last two months, Smith said. .Born in Lewisburg, W.Va., McCue earned his undergraduate (1952) and medical degrees (1956) from Virginia and completed his residency there. He left briefly for a hand surgery fellowship in California and returned to Charlottesville in 1961.
.The renowned Dr. James Andrews, a pioneer in elbow surgery, studied under McCue at Virginia.
."No one loved the University of Virginia more nor has anyone done more to contribute to the welfare of citizens across the Commonwealth than Frank McCue," athletic director Craig Littlepage said in a statement. "When I think about people that truly made a difference in the welfare of others, Dr. McCue will be at the top of my list.
."He was more than a pioneer in the fields of sports medicine and hand surgery. Dr. McCue dedicated his life to ensuring the health and welfare of athletes of all levels and citizens around the country and the region. It is hard to estimate the number patients he served, the number of aspiring doctors and trainers he mentored or the number of hours he volunteered during his career. He'll be missed and there will never be another like him."
.McCue also served as the athletics surgeon for William and Mary, VMI and the University of Richmond before those schools had their own physicians.

A shorter URL for the above link: . http://tinyurl.com/82hg7c3 . .There is no way that anyone can ever understand this without some background but just yesterday I got the sad word that one of the greatest human beings who God ever placed on earth - I'm talking about of all Homo sapiens who have ever walked -- has just died after giving his life and soul to countless thousands of athletes - and many others - for over 40 years before his actual death occurred on Sunday.
.Frank McCue, III, for whom the entire athletic complex is already named at the University of Virginia, passed away in Charlottesville's University Hospital and the funeral rites for easily one of the most beloved gentleman in the entire state's history will most likely be the largest funeral gathering ever held in the city.
.He was simply called "Doc" by countless professional athletes as well and also - get this - a few extremely lucky sports writers from across the country.
."Frank McCue represented the values that make the University of Virginia great," said UVa president Teresa A. Sullivan. "He was selfless, dedicated, professional and always ready to serve the University he so loved. His presence will be greatly missed and his contributions simply cannot be overstated."
.Trust me that I can testify to Dr. Sullivan's belief with first-hand knowledge because after "Doc" got his grip on me in the early '90s, he has held me close ever since. Quite simply, he was the team doctor for UVa, VMI, Richmond, the College of William & Mary, and about half the high schools in the Commonwealth. He was also a father, a friend, a teacher and a bonafide medical genius whose specialty was - of all things -- people.
.One memorable Sunday afternoon Bill Millsaps, the nationally-acclaimed sports editor out of Richmond, darn near cut his left hand off with a power saw, Doc told his wife to get a bottle of whiskey, to keep the arm elevated as high as possible and to rush Bill to Charlottesville.
."Saps," whose father, Hobart, you may recall, was a legendary educator in Chattanooga for years, later told me he watched Doc sew his hand back on and - braced by the highway whiskey - claimed it never once hurt. First-hand experience assures me that was a lie because my deal was a little deeper. Numerous attempts to save my right arm had gotten pretty dicey back in the '90s and, with one operation after another, I was going squirrely. Really -- I'd walk into a hospital and have horrible "panic attacks." Bones were falling out, surgical rods kept snapping, the nerve pain was awful and I was indeed a basket case.
.So we quickly learned "the world's best hand surgeon" (honest to God) was Frank McCue at UVa. Other hand specialists all over the country agreed, but, as any fool can figure, he was back-logged for about six months. Everybody wanted him. Are you kidding me? For years he kept the big toe of major league's Alvin Dark in a jar of formaldehyde in his office and I never went there that I wasn't among several pro players also being treated.
.Here is what happened. Doc got a personal nudge that I was really struggling so he hatched a plan that had me flying to Charlottesville within about six hours. What hotel should I stay in? Where's your office? How long will I be there? "Oh, hell, calm down, son I'll handle all that. There will be two big, ugly football players picking you up at the plane and you let me handle it from there. Now, c'mon, you just get on the plane and don't worry about anything else ."
